Alverbank Hotel, Restaurant & Bar in Gosport

We had an absolutely fabulous full English here today! The staff are always so helpful and lovely too - our favourite place to go and best breakfast in the area.

We went for breakfast and the staff couldnt be more accommodating! The meal was delicious and well prepared and looked good on the plate too! The apple juice was delicious and my favourite parts of my Garden breakfast was the wilted spinach and crispy hash browns. Thank you all for your contribution to a wonderful little birthday breakfast - we felt very welcomed and well looked after

If I could give more stars I would. My wife and I had our wedding here on the 12th September. Claire and the team could not have done more to make our special day so incredible. The food here is also incredible!!

Best lunch out so far, staff helpful and friendly, lovely location and food definitely 5 stars, can't wait to go back

Lovely, homely hotel with good food and wonderful staff. Great location, looking over to Isle of Wight.

We went to a wedding reception the place was perfect

We had our magical wedding here 4 weeks ago. The sun shone the day was perfect 🥰 claire and the team were amazing from day 1. Thank you all so much for our amazing day. You are all amazing ❤️

Lovely quiet location very enjoyable lunch and drink in the garden

Lovely spot & building ( ok, it helps that we live closeby ). Food is always nice & the various functions & events are a bonus. But, I wanted to post a review, which I wouldn't normally do - because the staff are always so polite & friendly. It really makes a difference. Fraser & Nadine Cook

My son and his wife wedding held here and it was brilliant can't fault it. Staff were fantastic.

We went as a family for breakfast at the Alverbank. The menu promises a lot but sadly we felt very underwhelmed by the time we had finished. I will start with a positive. My daughter had the Nutella pancakes which she really enjoyed. The portion size was good and was presented well. My wife had the Eggs Benedict. This is where things started to go wrong. She asked for her poached eggs to be runny. When this arrived, one of the eggs was solid and the other only slightly runny. The eggs also had a very strong vinegar taste, which suggests they did not allow the eggs to drain off effectively. I had the eggs Royale. The salmon was good, however my eggs also had a strong vinegar taste. At no point was a checkback made by the waitress after the food was delivered, therefore we were unable to raise an issue. Drinks - my wife thought the coffee was very good, however my orange juice was most definetely from a carton, and not a good quality one at that. I would have expected fresh orange juice based upon the experience they are trying to portray and the price they charged. Service - the team were friendly enough, but service was very slow. We were the only people in the restaurant area but breakfast took a long time to come out, and had to wait a fair amount of time after we had finished our meal to request the bill. Setting - the venue is in a lovely location and has fantastic views over the solent, but is let down by some basic things. Some of the decor is looking tired, and the window we were sat by was covered in cobwebs and dead flies. Overall a disappointing experience - when you pay over £50 for breakfast for 3 people, i would expect more than what was delivered.

The first time we walked into The Alverbank we knew we wanted our wedding there. Such a lovely building with a beautiful view. We married on 8 June 24 and had an amazing and perfect day. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We will always have wonderful memories. The staff were efficient and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was excellent and well presented. We cannot praise Claire enough. Right from the beginning she put us at ease with her lovely personality and her advice and guidance throughout our journey was invaluable. It was fun. We knew we were in safe hands. The day went so smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We have had so many comments from our guests saying how lovely everything was. In fact we want to do it all again!! A big thank you to Claire and the team and we wish them every success in the future. Melvin and Sally xx

Amazing place! Our son had his wedding reception here nearly two years ago and it was incredible. We have visited several times since then with various different friends and it never fails to diappoint. Staff venue and food are all 5*+. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Alverbank for yet another memorable dining experience.

Attended outdoor Shakespeare's As you like it theatrical performance on the terrace. It was a magical setting and the whole event ran so smoothly thanks to Roxanne and her wonderful staff. Great location good prices going back very soon xxx

This evening had an amazing time at the Alverbank Hotel for a special event Shakespeare play. Absolutely spectacular.

We attended a wedding reception on 12 July The food was excellent The team of girls looking after the guests were great happy polite and made the effort to try and remember guest names this made for a very enjoyable evening

We were really looking forward to coming here for Father’s Day ..unfortunately we were very disappointed by the lack of service ..seated promptly but then left for 25 minutes before going to find someone to take our order for drinks ..the food was disappointing a very average breakfast and at no point were any staff visible to ask if everything was ok ..or ask if we wanted any further drinks, we had asked for some water for the table this arrived eventually with the food. The table did not get cleared and we had to go and settle the bill at the desk. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful building in a great location and we have had good food and service in the past. The management should address the lack of hospitality currently given and focus on customer satisfaction. We were left feeling like we were an inconvenience to the staff and not welcome at all. We will not be returning.

Our Perfect Wedding Venue I understand that any feedback is subjective and unique to the persons experience That being said, the Alverbank Hotel, it’s staff and it’s ideologies are perfectly aligned to ensure you do not just have a picturesque venue with stunning views of the Solent likened to wedding venues on the mediterranean (words spoken by one of our guests who recently attended a wedding on the med) combined with a rustic venue which can mirror any seasonal wedding requirement but for us most importantly staff and owners who are so engaged with you and your celebration. From the owners all the way through the staff at all levels, they are genuine in the care at pinpoint attention to detail they give you. Be it a coffee meet to discuss arrangements with Clare, who is the most personal efficient wedding organiser I’ve encountered, or just stopping by for a meal and the owner, Abby, stopping by our table to ask how we are and how the plans are coming along - The Alverbank Hotel makes you feel like you’ve just added to your friends and family list (we even discussed if we should invite some of the staff to the wedding) For us this venue is way more than just a venue, it was the perfect location! The food and service were first class! Thank you to everyone at the Alverbank Hotel for making our day more perfect than we could have imagined - see you soon!

Every time we come here the staff are exceptional at looking after every need, dietary, medical, and everything else you could imagine. The food is always immaculate. Would recommend to everyone!!

Had my wedding at the Alverbank 28th march 2024 and loved every second of it as the staff made it such an amazing day they helped so so much and did more than I could have asked for. Claire who we spoke to and had meetings with about the wedding is amazing she made it so nice and relaxed during the year or so whilst having the meetings to get the wedding planned. Such an amazing day. If we had to do it all again we would come back and do it with them.

A very fine grand house with SUPERB staff in a great location just off the beach. Easy access to the Solent area. We went to Lee on Solent one day and Gosport marina the next. The listed hotel is quite boutique with lovely rooms, comfy beds and a grand entrance hall. The breakfast was also SUPERB. There is a small bar area too serving some fine whiskies! But mostly its the staff that make your stay so good. Well done.

An excellent weekend spent at the Alverbank Hotel for a family Golden Wedding Anniversary. The location is great and the staff were all amazing, as was the view from the bath! The welcome was warm and friendly and throughout our 2 night stay, Claire and the Team made sure that we had everything that we could possibly need. Special thanks to Anesha who proactively looked after us so well, especially at breakfast. We look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

Taste club at the Alverbank is amazing and an experience that shouldn't be missed. I go with a group of friends each month and it is always amazing, but this month it was exemplary. They go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and special. Although it is a set menu, they always go the extra mile to cater for dietary needs and this month was exceptional. Egg free, no beef, and low carb made for a challenging task, but Jack, the chef came up with the goods! Thank you so much for such a memorable night. Can't wait for next month!

Heartfelt thanks from the family for the professional way that you managed and organised our wake. The setting was perfect and the presentation and quality of food was beyond expectations. Highly recommending your venue.

We married here on 29/02/2024, and we honestly had the most amazingly perfect day. We had a relatively short engagement (6 months!) and Claire and the team were superb throughout the entire process. Living in Gosport, we wanted to keep our wedding local and we are so lucky to have The Alverbank on our doorstop. After we visited for dinner, we knew that we wanted to get married here as the service we received was excellent. When we met Claire, the wedding coordinator, it was the icing on the cake. Claire made everything so straightforward for us, and our 6 months of planning felt so easy. We held our wedding ceremony here and evening reception which is helpful as we wanted everything in one venue. There is so much space for guests between the events when they are turning the rooms around. Even though it rained all day and we couldn't make use of the gardens, it didn't matter as the venue still has so much space. On the day itself, the staff were fantastic, and all of our guests have echoed our thoughts and feelings. The food service was perfect, and nobody waited to be served for drinks throughout the night considering we had 100+ people in the evening. The food was incredible. The food tasting experience was a pleasure in itself and on the day the chef and the team outdid themselves with the quality when cooking for the masses. I think my review explains just how happy we are with how our wedding day went - I could obviously continue! If you are considering this as a wedding venue, or a party venue for any occasion, i urge you to visit to see what a hidden gem this place is! :) Added bonus is that it is dog friendly, so our pooch could be with us on our special day! thank you to everybody at The Alverbank!

Nice pet friendly secluded hotel with great walks and nice food. Rooms are sufficient and a couple luxury too. Friendly staff and good parking. Only had a night but would recommend

I really want to give The Alverbank a good review, Gosport needs a good fine dining venue. It has the location, menu and service but falls short on attention to detail from the kitchen. Things like the "triple cooked" chips are dry and roast potatoes undercooked. We had two ribeye steaks on our table, both medium rare, one was overcooked, one was under cooked. You can tell a restaurant that the chef is proud of the food they turn out, The Alverbank doesn't have this. The pricing would be acceptable if the attention to detail was there, otherwise you'll be likely to lose local returning customers. I really hope this review is recognised by the owners as Gosport really needs a GOOD fine dining venue.

Nice decor and location, food definitely not worth the price. I had the tomato ragout with dumplings and the ragout was more like a watery tasteless soup and the dumplings were the dense-est ive ever had. I didnt eat it and had it taken off the tab. Husband has the steak and asked for medium rare and it came VERY rare. My SIL had the roast dinner and although the beef was cooked well the roast potatoes were very hard and a bit undercooked. Nothing was really worth the price that was advertised to be honest and it was our second time there recently (not by our choice but others) and previously the ramen had by hubby was watery and lacked any real flavor and the salad i had was pretty much just a hunk of watery mozzarella and some tomatoes..... Very disappointing. I would happily pay weatherspoons prices for this quality but nothing more and we wont be going again any time soon unless there is a substantial change and maybe a new chef. Such a shame as gosport could really do with somewhere for fine dining as with the location as nice as this i think they can expect many customers to not be coming more than once.

My favourite roast (apart from my own). Staff are always friendly and attentive. Food service can be a bit slow and we've found on a couple of occasions that items on the menu have already sold out which is disappointing. Still would return.

Great place, with helpful friendly staff that go the extra mile to accommodate you. Our room was spotlessly clean and being room No1 we had the roll top bath in the window and a beautiful view of the Isle of Wight. Hired the function hall for my wife’s 60th birthday party and have to say Roxanne was extremely helpful and professional, with good advice and answering any questions promptly. All in all a 5 star service, would definitely recommend.

Fabulous experience as always...

A real consideration for our wedding.

Excellent food at a reasonable price. Service from the staff was very good. Will definitely return again soon.

Want to say how fabulous this place is!! Delicious food - the breakfast selection and roast dinners are excellent. Staff are all really friendly and helpful, especially Megan and Anisha, nothing was too much trouble. Can’t wait to return again soon!

Amazing location with a fantastic roast. Had a great time.

I go to the comedy every month and it’s great. The staff are wonderful and the venue is lovely

A lovely selection of small plates to share for a Birthday celebration. Our waitress Anisha was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back soon.

We had a delicious sunday roast with sea views, an open lit fire and fantastic service. Can’t wait to go back it was excellent!

The food was incredible, staff were incredible, location is incredible, everything was lovely and made for the perfect Sunday lunch. Will certainly be going back!

Gorgeous roast in a lovely setting. The belly pork was cooked to perfection washed down with a pint of the local ale from the Powder Monkey brewery. Evan took our booking and made sure everything was OK with our meals, highly recommended for quality and service.

Awful very expensive and treat there employees or-fully they had a go at me for washing the dishes properly. “Because it takes to much time to do it properly”. All they care about is money.

Wonderful venue with incredible food and service. The best views of the Solent too. And the Comedy nights are the best…we always know we’re in for a treat when we’re going to the Alverbank, well done everyone ☺️

Once again had our family Xmas meal here, everything was excellent couldn’t fault anything

Fabulous meal, very efficient service and friendly staff. Great location and outlook. Excellent rooms with extremely comfortable bed. Would highly recommend a stay or meal here.

We chose the Alverbank for our Christmas family meal as it was one of a few places that offered their Christmas menu on a Sunday. The welcome from the team was lovely, as we were a large party they gave us the private dining room which was splendid. The food was fabulous, all 3 courses were served in a timely manner and all piping hot. Service was excellent throughout the whole meal. Myself and my family would like to say a huge thank you to the team at The Alverbank, we have found our new family Christmas tradition!! We will be back before next Christmas though !

What an amazing private dining / 90th Birthday celebration we had on 11th November 2023. The consideration and detail from Roxanne, the events manager, took from our first meeting,  through the many email exchanges and our last pre-event meeting. The day was absolutely perfect in every detail; the ambience, excellent food and wonderful service. A massive appreciation to Billy too whose attentiveness, energy and great humour ensured the day was simply wonderful. We really can't recommend The Alverbank and the team enough. Just perfect 👌⭐️

The Alverbank were kind enough to host our wedding last month and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our very first meeting, Claire and the team were incredibly helpful, accommodating, and friendly, and took so much stress away from planning our day. They could not have done any more for us, exceeding our expectations in every single way possible. The chef at the Alverbank (Jack) is incredible - his food is honestly the best around and we have eaten here so many times now it's honestly my favourite place to go. To have him cater our wedding was a privilege and it was the most memorable and exquisite meal - Jack made suggestions and amendments to our choices which levelled them up to such a top tier choice, and it was perfect. The Alverbank went to great lengths to make our day perfect - even setting up the tables and function room completely for us and so much better than we could ever have done! It was such a surprise to be able to walk into our wedding reception and see such a beautiful set up and made it so special for us both. Not only the wedding, planning, meals, and hospitality, the accommodation at the venue is simply amazing. The honeymoon suite is most probably the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in, and that includes our 5-star hotel for honeymoon itself in Devon. It is stunning. The views are incredible, yet it feels private, luxurious, and comfortable. I could have stayed there for weeks!! Our wedding was absolutely MADE by the team at the Alverbank. From the meal the night before, the breakfast the morning after, and the extra touches they made on the day (I noticed the tea lights and added chalk signs, the gift table, and how you coordinated the day so effortlessly, even though you did nothing to boast about these elements) - we are eternally grateful. The venue and team will hold a special place in our hearts forever more. Thank you for everything.

Friendly and present staff. Beautiful place and lovely location.

Beautiful little costal hotel with excellent restaurant in the middle of a dog friendly park. Fantastic views of the ocean. Room was comfortable (mattress was firm but I like that for my sleep). It's a historic building so expect creaks and squeaks but that's part of its character. Activities include walking the beach and the park. Very relaxing.

A warm and receptive hotel venue and staff in a pleasant sea-view location. Would highly recommend!

Claire and the team at the Alverbank were top class, and truly made our wedding special, nothing was too much trouble and all guests commented on the amazing food and hospitality. They helped bring our dream wedding to life and, even when the weather took a turn last minute, saved the day and gave us the most perfect day we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. The Alverbank truly is a hidden gem and we’d recommend a wedding with them to anyone. We couldn’t have asked for more. From the Mitchell-Bretts.

Lovely since it's been done up - highly recommend the fish of the day dishes. Great service.

Absolutely fabulous food, The Breakfast was sublime, comfy rooms, but the best asset is the staff, they all go above and beyond to help with a smile. We were very fortunate to be looked after by Anisha who went above and beyond during our stay there to ensure we had the best time, we did.

Extraordinary Sunday roasts that really need to be sampled to be believed! Fantastic customer service in an idyllic location with amazing sea views.

Lovely crisp October day lovely sitting in the garden 😁

This was our first visit for a very long time and our Sunday lunch was perfect. Very tasty food, hot and good portions without being overwhelming. The staff were very welcoming and efficient. The Alverbank will definitely be our go-to place to eat in future.

Nearly half hour waiting for 4x lattes.

I love visiting here however received a parking fine of £100 even though I entered my reg into the tablet in reception. Now I have to submit an appeal via letter as there is no phone number or email to contact them through to appeal . Contacted yourselves who advised me I have to appeal through the fine company . I would have thought being your establishment you could have over turned this as I have bank statements clearly stating I had spent my money in your premises at said time and date .

I Was Here This Morning At 11:16 AM With My Member Of Staff From Fareham I’ve Loved This Place Because It’s So Cool And How Posh The Hotel

Excellent food and wonderful staff, in a lovely location. Highly recommended!

Nice place, ok food, but not recommended as you'll get a parking fine if you park in the hotel car park. We were eating in the restaurant for about 2 hours and got a £100 parking fine. Staff not interested in cancelling the fine. Won't be returning.

Had a absolutely delicious Sunday Roast yesterday. Freshly cooked veg and Yorkshire pudding to die for. Service was excellent too. Highly recommended. Will be back.

The Alverbank is in a lovely old building with a large garden overlooking the Solent where, over the years, we've enjoyed meeting friends for a couple of drinks. Unfortunately, the latest management team seems to have a policy of table service only. So, even if you end up sitting a step away from the barperson at the bar, you have to wait for someone else to take your order and bring the drinks over. The shock comes when you are then required to pay 10% service charge for the pleasure. Sadly, we won't be going back for drinks here whilst they operate this money-making scheme. Such a shame. ~~~ Noting the reply below: I totally agree with the idea of customers being given the opportunity to show their appreciation for staff who have provided friendly and helpful meal service. We always do just that. However, in this case, we felt that slapping an unannounced 10% surcharge on our bill for being required to wait around for available staff to fetch us drinks we had tried to buy directly from the bar was a bit of a cheek. Rather than ruin other people's evenings by causing a fuss, we paid the surcharge as there was no indication it was optional.

Thank you so much for the service on the day from Billy and Kerry nothing was too much trouble making our wedding day run like clockwork The food was amazing and everyone who attended said it’s a wedding they will be taking about for years to come for the right reasons A special thanks to Billy who took extra special care of my mother who has vascular dementia and Billy took the time and care to to ensure she was okay Thank you to Claire who was involved in numerous planned meetings and made everything stress free The venue is amazing and with all the staff the perfect location

Went to the jazz eve last night very nice,had some nibbles and a drink,lovely eve.

We had a lunch for 11 in a private room on a wet day - could have had brighter lights! BUT virtually everything eaten was really good - service impeccable and really enjoyable. It is pricey but worth it - my rib eye steak was amazing - thank you

A delightful tucked away hotel with beautiful views! Staff very lovely, friendly and attentive. Would definitely stay again 💙

A big, big thank you to Abby, Billy, Claire and the Alverbank team for making our wedding day so perfect in every way. Your guidance, advise, care and attention to detail was exceptional. Billy was a superstar in ensuring the day ran without hiccup and Claire working in the background to make sure everything went smoothly. Beautiful bedrooms, delicious food and a superb venue by the sea for wedding photographs. The whole experience was fabulous and a day we will treasure forever. We received high praise from all our guests. Thank you!! Linda & Gary

Hosts lovely. Quiet location. We were the only people staying. Right on the beach. Will definitely be back.

Superb Sunday lunch...one of the best I've ever had Staff are exceptionally lovely No problem with having our dog with us too

Friendly and attentive staff, great menu and good food, well presented.

Nice place to stay, superb location and really friendly staff. Room was good, breakfast was good, will return next year.

A hidden gem. Warm and friendly, attentive and efficient staff and excellent food. From their garden are spectacular views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. I held my husband’s wake at the Alverbank on a spring afternoon. I wanted hot food that would be easy to eat while everyone caught up so we chose fish pie and shepherd’s pie which went down a storm. Their spacious entertaining room was ideal for everyone to gather and talk of their memories of my husband. He had a wonderful send off. Thank you, it could not have been more perfect.

Went to a comedy night which was brilliant. What wasn't great is that as of April 2022 the Alverbank are still doing bubbles, even though all Covid restrictions were lifted months ago. We were a group of 3, Alverbank said they only had tickets left for bubbles of 4 so we had to buy an extra ticket. I know we didn't have to but we wanted to see the acts. Once inside we were sat on chairs In rows, like a school assembly. So the idea of "bubbles" was a complete nonsense.

Came here for a wedding, a beautiful building inside and out. All of the staff were very friendly, amazing wedding meal too! 3 courses were lovely and the blondie was the nicest desert I've ever had. Came back a month later to try the food and drink again and was blown away again, I would recommend anyone to come and try their food! Beautifully cooked and the staff are all lovely and very friendly! I'll definitely be back for more food! I'd recommend booking if you're coming to eat though :)

Loved the comedy night , will be regular. Why do I have to pay for 'bubbles'', we're all sat together?

Beautiful food , and really attentive staff...Will definitely return..

Very good restaurant. Fine food, reasonable price, comfortable view with good services. Must try.

Fantastic venue, we attended a wake at the hotel yesterday, the team managed the event flawlessly, with a drinks reception in the sea view garden. Food was exceptional, can’t wait to visit again.

Great place. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and a great garden.

We had my daughter's wedding reception at this wonderful hotel, the staff were brilliant, the meals were unbelievable, the service was faultless. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, daughter's room had a view of the Solent. We all had a great time here and some of my family and friends said that next time they come back this is where they will stay. Thanks Abby to you and your staff

Lovely staff and very nice location, value for the money and great place to go if you have a dog!

Terrible Just hour and a half before check we where informed we could not have our room as it had been double booked. Would never book here again and anyone thinking of it be carful they could double book and you will loose your room

I booked the hotels private dining for a big birthday. Everything was wonderful, the food, the service and the rooms. I would highly recommend this hotel.

A big THANK YOU to Abby, Dave, Billy and all the staff at The Alverbank for a wonderful lunch for my family yesterday. We had booked somewhere else but were let down at the last minute. Abby fitted all 15 of us in and we used the side room, which was perfect. All of the staff were so welcoming and couldn't do enough to help us. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. We all felt that we ended up having a MUCH better experience than we would have had with the other venue - we definitely lucked in! I would HIGHLY recommend the Alverbank Hotel. Thank you once again Abby. Cassy xxx

Stayed at this lovely hotel for a family function in December 2021. Loved my room that had a bath with a sea view - heaven!! The staff could not by faulted. Attentive, friendly, helpful. A credit to the hotel. Recommend this place to anyone.

The Alverbank Country House Hotel (or "Alverbank Rooms") is a lovely grade II listed Victorian building that sits between a beautiful park and the sea front in Stokes Bay, with a view of the Isle of Wight. We received a warm welcome and a free upgrade to room 5, a double that looks out on the entrance to the nearby park, the front parking area, and allows glimpses of the sea. Current management is in the process of renovating the bedrooms. Although some details are still to be finished, the rooms do already look very nice, and are comfortable, with all the important bits like bathrooms having already been done. The interior of the room (no. 5) offered a combination of modern and vintage furnishings, an impressive old fireplace, and a completely renovated bathroom, where we especially loved the excellent, beautiful shower. The suite in vintage style went well with our idea of how a bathroom in a building like this should look. The breakfast, included in the room price, was continental, and offered everything we wanted, including warm croissants. Service is friendly, staff are helpful, parking is free, and the location is lovely. We're already planning our next visit.

The perfect place for a fun family get together, the food and service was excellent! Thank you so much!!!!

50th birthday party, good venue.

Made very welcome exclent members of staff

Best Sunday roast in the area. Also the deserts are amazing. The chef really cares about the food, and the quality of service is amazing. Already booked for next week again!

Enjoyed a fabulous evening at Alverbank Hotel last night for their wine tasting evening. A five course meal with wine that complimented every dish. Service was excellent. The front of house staff were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious, it tickled every taste bud and all 5 courses was an absolute pleasure. Hat's off to the chef and all kitchen staff that worked magic on the plates for a large sitting. The setting was cosy, log fires crackling away and more importantly, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. This was the first of what I hope is a recurring event as I am already wanting to return.

Very tasty Sunday lunch - best in a long while, and very helpful staff!

Myself, Mum, my children, sister, niece and nephew have just returned home to Manchester after spending the weekend at The Alverbank to celebrate my Auntie and Uncle’s Ruby wedding anniversary, the perfect venue for a celebration, the accommodation, the atmosphere, food and drinks were all just fabulous, I was thrilled with my room, room 1…beautifully decorated, comfortable and the roll top bath overlooking the Solent was phenomenal, special thanks to Billy for being the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble and was always smiling, all the staff were exceptional and worked very hard to make our stay wonderful…thank you all and we will look forward to making another excuse to staying with you again! Love Sarah, Grace, Elsie, Rachel, Milly, Patrick, Chloe

Just had the most amazing long weekend at this lovely gem of a hotel for our ruby wedding celebrations. Abby, Billy, Claire and staff could not do enough for us. Rooms very clean, comfortable, views amazing, Sunday roast the best. Will definitely be going back thank you all.

Dropped by with friends on a cold winter's day. Dog friendly and hunkered up by an open fire. Stopped for lunch and chose 3 tapa dishes for £18 which two of us shared. Unexpectedly the portions were very grand, delicious and delightfully presented. Staff were courteous and friendly, some banter too. Even showed us around the building which is 180 years old. Will definitely call again. Thank you Alverbank

We had a wonderful time here. Very friendly staff, service and food was excellent. Returning soon and booked another stay at Easter.

Went here for lunch, gorgeous food with stunning views & staff were lovely

Lovely food. Needs some work finished. Nice to see original features being renewed. Nice friendly staff.

Room 1 - superb room, amazing view....will return
